8:15 am – 12:15 pm           CE : WordPress - Kyle M. L. Jones

WordPress is simple to use, easily customizable, and popular in libraries as an open source content management system.

In this workshop, you will learn: pros and cons of choosing WordPress for your website; how WordPress structures its content; how to manipulate and customize architectural  features for aesthetics and findability; where to find, how to install, and how to manage additional themes and plugins; how to access, enable, and administer WordPress Multi Site, an extension of WordPress that allows for multiple sites; and general tips and tricks for making the most of your WordPress site. 
    
Instructor: Kyle Jones, a doctoral candidate at UW-Madison SLIS, has co-authored two books on using WordPress (Learning from Libraries that Use WordPress and Using WordPress as a Library Content Management System) and brings to the course years of experience building a variety of WordPress-based websites for libraries, professionals, and instructors and learners in social learning environments. He co-taught and developed the Hyperlinked Library MOOC course site, which supported the teaching and learning experience for over 350 library professionals.
